Testing of a product sample revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration release. The recall affects the product sold in 16-ounce plastic containers.

The containers have a UPC code number of 0 11213 90320 0 and a use-by date of 09/06/13/04.

According to the FDA, the potato salad was sold in Spartan Stores across Michigan and in Toledo, Ohio.

A Listeria contamination can cause serious health complications in young children, older people or those with weakened immune systems, even death, according to the FDA. High fever, headaches, stiffness, diarrhea and other health issues can occur if healthy adults become infected with the bacteria.

No illnesses have been reported, according to the FDA.

The FDA asks consumers with the product should not open the container and, instead, return it to the store for a full refund.

Anyone with questions regarding the recall can call Garden-Fresh Foods Inc. at 1-800-645-3367 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
